An upcoming anniversary
Some years back a group of people got a hold of me and did things that they shouldn't have done. Had me for a month. And there is NO safe way to report it. What happened is irrelevant.
That said, anniversaries relating to particularly bad moments in life can be rough.
Not much more to say other than that, just having a bad few days. Thanks for listening.

That's kinda what I needed to hear. Just a rough day, it will pass.
Not making a separate post of thanks, really not wanting to draw attention to this. Tears are freely flowing down my face. Thank you. "Thank you" seems inadequate, but it's what I have to offer. It's enough to be heard.
I'm seriously okay. And grateful. Just a little damaged.
Given the polarizing nature of politics today along with the rancor and hyperbole that bubbles up in General, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that people on DU are generally incredibly compassionate when given a chance. I'm glad I spoke up and thank you for hearing me. Things are looking up; anniversaries are just awkward. We hold onto things only for as long as we need them and when they serve no purpose we can let them go. It's a process many, perhaps all of us, go through.
Ah, Frodo...it's a beautiful reference.
